Blanket and Pillow from Home?
I am definitly taking my 2 bed pillows. DH knows this is standard for me, I take them everywhere I go. I hadn't thought too much about the blanket ... .hmmmm I just bought a nice soft cuddly one. Maybe I will throw it in the car "just in case"

Blanket and Pillow from Home?
I took my 2 pillows - one for my head (my favorite) and a kind of half cylinder shaped one that I can put either behind my neck if I'm on my back or between my knees if I'm on my side. I had DH leave them in the car until I was up in the hospital room, and then he brought them in. I packed lots of socks, because my feet are always cold.

Blanket and Pillow from Home?
I am definately taking my pillow from home. I take it anytime I won't be sleeping at home. It is more for sentimental reasons, I sort of "stole" it from the hospital when I had my daughter 10 years ago. My daughter also wants me to take her favorite blanket so that she can sort of be there with me.

I probably looked like I was moving into the hospital. I took my hystersister tummy pillow in its tote bag and my own bed pillow along with my shoulder bag. When I got upstairs to the holding area, the nurse said I was smart to bring my own bed pillow. My things were tagged and waiting on me when I got to my room. My feeling is you should take whatever will make you feel comfy during your hospital stay.
Best wishes and 's.

Blanket and Pillow from Home?
The one thing I WISH I had brought but didn't was my pillow. I'm not necessarily partial to my pillows, but, I ended up stealing one from the castle to bring with me for the car ride home. Because I was having the laparoscopic hyst, I didn't think I'd need a tummy pillow......but I did! So the nurse helped me scoff the one from my bed!
Good Luck!

I am definitely bringing my pillow. I find that I sleep better with my own pillow. In fact, I can even put up with an uncomfortable mattress, as long as my head and neck are comfy.
